I must say, I’ve been like a giddy teenager waiting for this appointment today, and it finally arrived. Today I got my driving assessment through Kettering Neuro Balance and Rehab. Today was all of the out of car tests, and using some hand controls in a driving simulator. They deal with all sorts of patients,… Continue reading Driving 2.0

I Guess I’m Making Progress
The funny thing about recovery is that when you are going day to day, you don’t always see the progress that you are making. It is even hard for my parents, since they see me everyday. Therefore it is good when I get periodic check ins with my various friends and they see the progress… Continue reading I Guess I’m Making Progress
Appointment City
Going to all of my appointments and coordinating them is a full time job. I am so glad my housing situation is mostly on track, I don’t know what I would do if I was still waiting on that to all get taken care of. In this week alone I have 5 appointments, and two… Continue reading Appointment City
Wheelchairs and Things
Today was another huge appointment, the meeting with OT and and National Seating and Mobility to finalize the paperwork of my new made to me chair. The timeline above lists that I can expect my chair anywhere between 2-6 months. Nick from National Seating and Mobility thinks I should be on the shorter end of… Continue reading Wheelchairs and Things
The Big Appointment
If you have followed me since my illness, you have known then how I have lamented that Neurology couldn’t see me until April 11th. Well today was finally April 11th. I had a relatively early appointment of 10:30. This was a marathon appointment as you will see below, and turned into a much longer appointment… Continue reading The Big Appointment
Busy Busy Busy
As I sit here with my second cup of the nectar of life that is coffee, I once again have some thoughts so far on my very busy week that I have had so far. Today always has been in my mind a day I wouldn’t go out, and like usual it’s turned out to… Continue reading Busy Busy Busy
Care Management is a full time job.
As I sit here starting Bridgerton Season 2 (yes Kristen, I have started it and we will need to debrief) I feel like I am the Lady Whistledown of my own life. So much to tell people, and debrief on, and yet, I don’t want to Facebook/Instagram post every day. My blog is my semi-incognito… Continue reading Care Management is a full time job.
Adapting My Life
This week is spring break at my school, but for me since I am on medical leave this week just seems like any other week. I am in a holding pattern this week, getting discharged from home health today, so no PT/OT coming in, but it isn’t until next week that I go to the… Continue reading Adapting My Life
Routine…
Studies have shown having a routine is important for most people, and most people fall into a routine. My routine has changed a couple of times this year already, from my 40+ hour a week grind with school, to the crazy hospital routine, to the rehab hospital routine, to what I am on currently which… Continue reading Routine…
Wednesday Morning Coffee Thoughts
As I sit here enjoying a cup of Highlander Grog and Marty on my lap, I have lots of thoughts. These thoughts are sometimes not the positive, happy thoughts about my situation. Yesterday, there was a credible bomb threat at my school. It all turned out okay, and all staff and students were safe but… Continue reading Wednesday Morning Coffee Thoughts
